520 1 $a"A genius yet a failure through his tormented youth, Bosie's deep and enduring friendship with Oscar Wilde continued throughout the trials and subsequent imprisonment of Wilde and on until his death in 1900. Soon after, Bosie surprisingly eloped and started a family, briefly finding tranquility both in this and in his poetry. He became great friends with George Bernard Shaw and Marie Stopes and was associated with the Bloomsbury Group.
520 8 $aHis religious devotion increased as spiralling debts cut short his happiness. Soon battles with the remainder of the Wilde circle, his father-in-law and indeed his libelling of Winston Churchill led to his own imprisonment, followed by a semi-reclusive state until his death in 1945.".
520 8 $a"Douglas Murray has succeeded where Bosie himself failed in securing the release of a Home Office file which was to be sealed until 2043. It holds the key to Bosie's state of mind while in prison and the only original workings of some of his best poetry."--BOOK JACKET.
